Melania Trump is said to be preparing for her imminent exit from the White House. Just a few weeks after it was confirmed that President Donald Trump failed to beat Joe Biden in the recently concluded U.S. elections, the FLOTUS has, reportedly, started executing her departure plans, which include finding a new school for Barron in Florida and packing of her stuff to be transported to their Mar-a-Lago home.
Melania Trump shocked everyone when she took her mask off
Recently, Melania Trump is in hot waters again after she, reportedly, broke a stated mask policy at a children’s hospital. The wife of President Donald Trump raised eyebrows when she removed her mask to read a holiday book to kids admitted at Children’s National Hospital.
The former model continued to her work amid the perils brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Most, if not all, fans are aware that Melania Trump has been visiting the said medical facility for children annually since she started being the FLOTUS. The only different thing now is that she needs to follow precautionary health protocols to avoid contracting or transmitting the deadly coronavirus.
CNN reported that Melania Trump arrived at the hospital sporting a mask. However, she decided to remove it when she took her seat in front of a gigantic Christmas tree. The media outlet claimed that part of the Children’s National Hospital’s policy is to wear masks at all times, even if physical distancing is practiced.
Later that day, the White House released a statement stating that Melania Trump’s visit followed to health institution’s protocols for public speakers. It claimed that wearing of a mask is unnecessary when a person is delivering a speech, especially if she is at least six feet away from the audience. The FLOTUS was twelve feet away from other people in the atrium during her talk.
Critics lambasted Melania Trump for ‘not following’ hospital’s policy
Detractors of the FLOTUS were quick to air their frustrations on social media. One netizen claimed that what Melania Trump did in the Children’s National Hospital was, clearly, a disrespect to the institution and the people around her, adding that it sends the wrong message to all. Another Twitter user said some people contracted the virus even at a great distance and, since Melania was in the hospital, she should have been more careful, especially since there are kids undergoing chemo or immune suppression.
Avid supporters of Melania Trump came to her defense. A third source shared that the FLOTUS is, clearly, doing her job and took time to read to the “poor children” unlike some journalists who continue to discredit her while she is doing good. A fourth netizen stated people should focus more on the good things that Melania is doing rather than making fun of her.
